Tenth Circuit Stay Halts Malique Ewin's Oregon Transfer After 2022 Eligibility Ruling

Summary
Malique Ewin is no longer eligible to play for Oregon after the Tenth Circuit granted the NCAA's stay request, throwing the Arkansas transfer's late commitment into doubt.
The stay pauses a lower-court ruling in Wisne v. NCAA that had given 2022 entrants an extra season under the NCAA's five-for-five eligibility model.
Ewin, a 6-foot-10, 240-pound forward, averaged 9.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks for Arkansas last season and had been expected to bolster Dana Altman's frontcourt.
State-court injunctions still are not affected, leaving Ewin a possible path back to eligibility if he secures a temporary restraining order while further appeals play out.
